Shiny, that about covers every tech related question I can think of right now.

Thanks for your time! (and for an awesome game \o/ )

That explains, thanks.

Might have to set up a manual sync between the respective folders one day, but right now im enjoying playing an actual game anywhere else but on my desk way too much

For that purpose though, am I right assuming that what you said about game logic being identical on both platforms also applies to how the contents of the game data folder are handled? As in, if I were to sync these two folders manually, would everything work out the way its supposed to?

Thanks for the quick response!

I had a hunch it may actually be a feature, but Ive never seen it on PC before and the large ships doing their dance looked somewhat suspicious, so I began to doubt it

While Im here though, I have one more question - is it possible to change the game data directory? The options interface seems to suggest it is, but I cant interact with the path field. It'd be amazingly convenient if this could be used to share savegames between different machines via dropbox!

Thanks!

AI War Technical Support / Possible Bug with Wave Behavior on OSX - Resolved

Hey there,

Ive been getting back to AIWar lately, and found myself amazed how well it runs on my laptop. However, theres a rather odd and not insignificant difference in how attacking waves behave, compared to the PC version.

Instead of entering the target system, AI waves pile up on the other side of the wormhole, and some (usually larger) ships zap back and forth between the wormhole and the AI guard post, apparently blocking the wormhole for the rest of their fleet. Occasionally one or two ships will get through, but the fleets just keep growing if I dont go in and clear the mess up. The fleet usually doesnt follow me back through if I attack and retreat.

This occurs on both version 5.000 and 5.020 with no change in behavior whatsoever, and doesn't occur on PC at all. Checking "Cross Planet Waves" makes no difference either.

If this is a known issue Im sorry for reposting it, but I couldnt find anything on the first couple pages of this section or Mantis.

Thanks!
